[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 626353, member: 805"] [SIZE=4]I was fortunate because my easy child lives about 5-7 minutes from here and 1 block from my office! I can say that it was really tough when she moved out. She and I have the kind of mother/daughter relationship that I wished I had with my mother. She is caring, loving, creative, and a great young woman. I remember how excited she was to get her own place after she graduated from high school. She was getting an apartment with her best friend and starting [/SIZE]college[SIZE=4]. We had been collecting things for her new place for several months. The day I drove away in my car, leaving her to sleep in her new place the first time, I honestly cried. Now, five years removed from that time, we are in a new phase of both our lives. We have more in common now that she is in her own place, working as a nanny and running a small business. She has a vintage clothing and housewares business (50's thru 70's) where she sells on Etsy and Instagram and does local [/SIZE]festivals[SIZE=4] and pop up vintage shows. We go to yard sale and estate sales together, she has dinner with difficult child and I about twice a week, and we talk on the phone usually twice a day! We have "family dinners" on Sunday (when she [/SIZE]first[SIZE=4] moved out it was Thursday nights) where the kids and I spend time together and share a meal. Life moves on but each phase has it's glory.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
